There are still no servants in Chunfeng Villa. There are only a few people living in the huge house, which looks extremely lonely amidst the chirping of cicadas in summer.
What is more lonely than this is Bai Zhongyu's heart.
This world-famous handsome man, who had not been seen for just a few days, turned out to be a man with a beard on his face and slovenly clothes. He was sitting slumped in the corner of the courtyard wall, with empty wine jars scattered around his feet.
These days have truly been the most difficult days in Bai Zhongyu's life. Every time he dreams back at midnight, he seems to see the heartbroken man standing coldly in front of him, scolding him angrily, wishing he could eat his flesh alive.
The self-blame and guilt in his heart made Bai Zhongyu want to die all the time. Qin Peng was right in what he said, Bai Zhongyu was indeed worse off than alive.
"Second brother, why didn't you call me when you were drinking?" Qin Peng returned from West Lake. After smelling the strong smell of alcohol, he walked into the yard and sat next to Bai Zhongyu.
Bai Zhongyu said nothing.
Qin Peng said: "I just went to see Ximen Shuangbo."
Bai Zhongyu still lowered his head, but the slight trembling of his body could not escape Qin Peng's eyes. Qin Peng continued: "That woman is in a very bad situation. Alas, if something like that happened, she would not be beaten to death by her husband."
You're lucky. But don't worry, Lei Taiji didn't dare to beat the woman to death for the sake of his face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation of the Jianghu people."
Bai Zhongyu said nothing, picked up a wine jar, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, but most of the wine spilled on his face.
Qin Peng was speechless and had no choice but to make another bold statement: "She wants to see you."
Bai Zhongyu froze and slowly put down the wine jar. This time he finally spoke with a hoarse voice: "It would be better not to meet her. I don't have the nerve to see her."
Qin Peng said hurriedly: "Second brother, no one wants to see that kind of thing, but since the end is done, we can only face it. I guess that woman is unwilling to accept it and feels that she has suffered a big loss. What the hell are you seeing me again?"
She is a genius, so she wants to take advantage of your kindness and try to manipulate you so that you can be at her mercy!"
Captain Qin is not a vegetarian. If Ximen Shuangbo dares to make him look bad, he will turn around and give Bai Zhongyu a vaccination first.
As for preventing the two from meeting, it is not necessary. If he really drives the woman crazy, Qin Peng will also have a headache. Besides, based on his understanding of Bai Zhongyu, if he conceals Ximen Shuangbo's intention today, Bai Zhongyu may know the truth in the future.
, and still blame him.
Qin Peng patted Bai Zhongyu on the shoulder and comforted him: "Wine is a good thing, but drinking it makes you happy when you are in a good mood. Think about it for yourself, I won't annoy you anymore."
After that, he got up and left.
As soon as Qin Peng left, Bai Zhongyu raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, but he felt a touch of warmth in his heart. The eldest brother did not dislike him or think he was a despicable person.
One day passes in the blink of an eye.
In Lin'an in June, the rain falls as soon as possible, and ripples ripple on the mirror-like wave surface of the West Lake. Layers of mist rise, making the mountains in the distance become misty, but the fragrance of raindrops becomes clearer.
, floating in the hearts of tourists.
Next to the lotus covered with raindrops and dewdrops, a painting boat sailed out of the mist and came to rest next to another small boat.
Bai Zhongyu thought about it all night, and finally came to keep the appointment. The two girls Chunyue Qiutang who greeted him saw his embarrassed appearance, looked at each other, and led him into the room without saying a word.
In the room, behind the desk in the middle, Ximen Shuangbo is wearing a pink skirt and light makeup. She is really an unparalleled and beautiful woman. The proud posture she has cultivated over the years gives her a sense of oppression. Ordinary men see her.
After all, I'm afraid I don't even have the courage to look at her.
Ximen Shuangbo watched Bai Zhongyu walk in lifelessly, and stopped ten steps away. He could still smell the strong smell of alcohol, and frowned: "You really have the nerve!"
This woman was also strange. She was obviously the one who asked Qin Peng to send the message, and she also threatened Bai Zhongyu with what would happen if he didn't come. Now that they met, she looked like she was going to attack him.
Bai Zhongyu looked at the carpet and said bitterly: "What do you want from me? If you want my life, you can come and take it at any time." He looked like he was being killed.
Although he was persuaded by Qin Peng that day, the psychological torture of the past few days had obviously rekindled Bai Zhongyu's desire to die. He did not dare to commit suicide because he felt that it was against the heartbroken man's original instructions, and there was a faint hope in his heart.
Others come to kill him to get rid of his inner suffering.
Ximen Shuangbo couldn't help but sneer: "I wanted to kill you that day, but you escaped, but today I pretended to do it. Well, don't move if you have the guts, Chunyue, kill him!"
Chunyue on the side gathered her inner strength, dodged, and struck Bai Zhongyu hard on the head with her palm.
Bai Zhongyu looked like a clay wood sculpture. He didn't even move his eyelashes, and there was even a relieved smile on his lips.
The palm force stopped half an inch away from the forehead. Chunyue's eyes flashed with deep shock. This guy was really about to die. She couldn't help turning her head to look at Ximen Shuangbo, waiting for instructions.
Ximen Shuangbo's face also changed slightly, and in an instant he returned to his proud attitude, and said angrily: "Even if I kill you a thousand times, I can't wash away the humiliation you have done to me. Death will give you an advantage!"
Bai Zhongyu said painfully: "Madam, what do you want?"
Ximen Shuangbo hummed, stood up and walked to Bai Zhongyu. After looking up and down several times, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it over.
There are five characters written on the booklet, "Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm".
Bai Zhongyu's expression changed. Although he had only been in the martial arts world for more than a year, he had heard a lot of rumors about the martial arts world during this period. The Thunderbolt Castle ruled the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it was famous for its firearms, the martial arts in the castle were also unparalleled in the world.
Among them, three martial arts are the most powerful, namely Thunderbolt Nerve, Jiutian Xuanting Sword Technique, and Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm.
These three martial arts are all peerless martial arts. It is said that as long as you master one of them, you will be able to dominate the world and be invincible. Ximen Shuangbo was able to obtain the Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm, which was enough to surprise Bai Zhongyu. What puzzled him even more was that the other party's
action.
Bai Zhongyu asked: "Madam, what do you mean?"
Ximen Shuangbo said: "I want you to practice it. This Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm has ten levels, and each level is more powerful than the last. Now the most powerful person in Thunderbolt Castle has already reached the eighth level. I don't expect it either."
No matter how high you can practice, your current three-legged cat skills are really embarrassing."
Bai Zhongyu thought of Qin Peng's words yesterday and said bitterly: "You want me to do things for you?"
Ximen Shuangbo said angrily: "After that scandal happened with you, what do you think Lei Taiji will do to me? How will I deal with myself when I return to Thunderbolt Castle? Even if I get dipped in a pig cage, I don't care.
But I don’t want to implicate Lin’er and let her be humiliated because of me! Let me tell you the truth, Lin’er is my senior brother’s only bloodline left in the world. You have humiliated me. Do you still want Lin’er to be bullied everywhere because of you?
?”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Bai Zhongyu's heart.
Qin Peng still underestimated Ximen Shuangbo's scheming. This woman had been observing Bai Zhongyu from the beginning today, and then suppressed her everywhere, constantly arousing Bai Zhongyu's guilt towards her. After determining Bai Zhongyu's character, she threw out the
Lei Lin's trump card can be said to be tightly linked, eating Bai Zhongyu to death. Even if he is sure of it, he will not refuse.
If it were Qin Peng, he might take away the secret book and go back to practice his own, regardless of Ximen Shuangbo's life or death. But if it were Bai Zhongyu, it would be a completely different reaction.
Bai Zhongyu looked at the secret book and sighed: "Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm is so broad and profound, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it well."
Ximen Shuangbo snorted coldly: "I told you, I don't expect you to practice well. According to the saying in the castle, those with outstanding talents can practice to the first level in one year and to the fifth level in ten years. Thunderbolt
There once was a senior in the castle who was a genius who practiced to the fifth level in one year. You don’t have that ability, but the world’s evaluation of you is not low. As long as you can practice to the second and third levels, your martial arts should be good.
It won’t be too bad.”
Seeing that Bai Zhongyu was still in a daze, Chun Yue on the side immediately shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Madam is giving me a generous gift, why don't you take it quickly?"
Bai Zhongyu sighed, finally took the secret book and put it in his arms.
Ximen Shuangbo turned around and said, "You can leave. Chunyue will tell you how to contact me in the future." That means that you have to be on call from now on.
Bai Zhongyu felt helpless, but had no choice, and then followed Chun Yue out of the boat.
After the others left, Qiu Yue said: "It is rumored that this Bai Zhongyu possesses two unparalleled skills of the former Thunder Emperor. Madam, why did you give him the Thunderbolt Pure Yang Palm? If the people in the castle know about it, it may be detrimental to Madam."
."
Ximen Shuangbo walked to the window, watched Bai Zhongyu get on the boat, and said in a low voice: "Those two unparalleled secrets are both internal skills and other mental techniques. Without the coordination of top moves, it is impossible to display their strength. Besides, Pili
The Pure Yang Palm is just a pretext, since he has accepted it, if he dares not to use it for me in the future, I have plenty of ways to deal with him!"
Qiuyue was filled with admiration: "Madam is wise!"
Ximen Shuangbo watched the boat go away and hummed: "I hope this guy named Bai is as talented as the rumors in the world. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide the matter between Lei Taiji and me from the old lady for too long."
At the end, a strong look of worry appeared in a pair of beautiful starry eyes.
